We use Aruba’s clearpath as a captive portal, and guest can auth with their social media creds, to get basic internet 
access,  that gives law enforcement a chance to subpoena for a real name if something happens that is serious enough 
that they want to track them down.

Subject: [SECURITY] guest access to athletic events like baseball, soccer

Question on net access at athletic events: For sports like basketball,  baseball or soccer (smaller than football size 
crowds), do you allow the general public to connect to your campus net? If so, what method do you use? A) use a 
commercial NAC tool B) use a tool that sends a txt to their smartphone C) attendees connect with browser, get a splash 
screen, check the "I will obey your rules" box and proceed D) other method like outsourcing using something like 
Wandering Wifi?
Is it sufficient to just log IP/MAC address?
